BHP 029: Tony Blauer | How To Manage Fear & Become a Human Weapon

Over the last 4 decades Tony Blauer has created, refined, and taught his self-defense methods, known as the SPEAR System to Law Enforcement and Military agencies, as well as civilians around the world.

Through all of his experience, he’s convinced one thing determines our success or failure (or survival) in critical situations – and life in general: how we manage our fears.

In this episode, we talk about the fear response and how it limits us in both extreme (self-defense) situations and in our daily lives (anxiety, self-doubt, etc).

Tune in to find out how and why fear holds us back, and what we can do to properly channel this survival based response from our human body so we can control our fears and direct our life rather than allow those fears to sabotage our lives and dreams.
